Bakklandet Bassangforening – Ned Med Nidaros

Me and Elin went to Platekompaniet since there was a power breakdown in Oslo yesterday, because of that the movie we went to see was cancelled. Had been wandering around for a while when stumbeling over this record. Remember that my mother had it when I was a kid, I jused to play it, so I had to buy it. The following text in Norwegian is written inside the cover:

I 1972 var vi ivrige deltakere i to politiske oppgjør: Kampen for å bevare Bakklandet og kampen mot EEC. Vi så dem som to sider av samme sak. Derfor laget vi historien om Bakklandet Bassangforening for å omgå den politiske sensuren i NRK.
Da vi så skulle spille inn denne platen i 1975, hadde Norge sagt nei til EEC, og kampen for Bakklandet så ut til å være vunnet. Derfor må vi innrømme at historien om Bassangforeningen skled litt ut. Den ble nok ikke helt politisk korrekt.
Nå er EEC blitt EU, men ideen er den samme. Baklandet er blitt fint, men sjelen er den samme. Planter er blitt CD, men innholdet er det ikke noe å gjøre med.
Det er dette som kalles fremskritt.

As written above, this is really a project by Knutsen og Ludvigsen, but it’s given the name Bakklandet Bassangforening to decoy NRK 🙂

Gorillaz – Demon days

Have heard their single Feel Good Inc. for quite a while now, and when I came accross the cd in Plovdiv for an affordable price I just had to buy it. Not able to judge it yet, since I just came home from vacation and haven’t been able to listen to it…but Feel Good Inc. is cool…!

Demon Days

Balloon fetish

Was watching Discovery Channel last night. After midnight they had kind a adult science, among other a program about sexual fetishes. I did not know, but theres a whole world out there having fetish for balloons. And in fact there are two schools, thoose who don’t want to hurt the balloon and thoose who find sexual excitement in watching the balloon blow. Haven’t seen the webpage, since I am at an Internet Cafe, but my guess is that it’s not safe for work 🙂 http://www.balloonfetish.com

Bulgaria: Back in Sofia – the last two days

Started out from Plovdiv today and headed for Sofia by train. Took two and a half hour, not the most comfortable ride we have done, but we wanted to have tried that as well. Back in Sofia as experienced travellers, riding off any taxi driver trying to charge us extra. Are now arranged in a classy hotel, having our own suite, with separate rooms, and two tv’s. Have been out shopping, found some gifts and I just had to buy a suit. When you get the whole costume with shoes as well costing aprox 3000 NOK, then it’s worth it! Now we will only get the hours to go by, tomorrow head for Stenata, by a beeper, then home on sunday! Maybe go for the swimming pool tomorrow, who knows, it might be something good to watch on Discovery!

Bulgaria: Day two of Plovdiv

Day two of Plovdiv. Have been to the hairdresser, coloured our hair, at the best hairdresser in Plovdiv. The price…20 leva, or 80 NOK, that’s quite alright! Later today I will go to get a pedicure as well, same price. It’s good for my feets, especially since I maybe will run the marathon next saturday.

Yesterday we met two girls from Denmark, which we invited out for dinner. I had to, since eating out with Espen for over two whole weeks is starting to get…boring? 🙂 We ended up at a mix slash gay bar, and had a lot of fun. Pictures will be available soon 🙂
